And New Relationship

"I Think I'm in Love with You"

When I looked at the smile on Evangeline's face, something stirred inside me, but I didn't let it show.

"Did you fall in love with me? Well, since you belong to me now, I'll allow it," I said while lying on my back next to Evangeline.

As Evangeline and I lay side by side on our backs, our breaths settled into a regular rhythm. Despite the intensity of the fight, this moment was unexpectedly peaceful. The silence after the battle felt like a peace treaty settling over us.

"Evangeline, how did you acquire this power?" I asked, my voice tinged with a mix of curiosity and admiration. It was truly astonishing that she could be so powerful and transform into different forms at the same time.

Evangeline turned her head slightly toward me. Her eyes still held the determination of a warrior, but now they told a deep story. "This power came to me by birth," she began. "My mother was a monster-human."
